Demographics: I'm white, heterosexual, cisgender, male, feminist, atheist, skeptical, and often opinionated. There are probably other descriptors that could be applied, but those will do for now.

Science creds: I have a B.A. in biology, with a focus on ecology, and I've participated in field studies of iguanas, turtles, and snakes.

Nonfiction writing: Currently this blog is where I write nonfiction, and where I try to see a way through the coming decades for human civilization.

Fiction writing: My primary fiction projects are a couple novels, plus Brigadoon, Space Station in the Mists, which you can find at https://abedrayton.com, along updates on other fiction-related stuff.

Money is pretty tight right now, so if you find any of my endeavors worthwhile or valuable, please consider supporting my work over at https://www.patreon.com/Oceanoxia
